(I don't board books, never saw the point, but since comics are likely to be stored in odd places at times, bagging them does save them from the occasional damp, and possibly even the occasional leaky basement.)
The girls (well, the twelve-year-old at least, not sure the eight-year-old is interested) are going to try out Heroclix. It sounds like it might be something fun to do together. I've been doing a bit of web research on the subject, and while there are many pages, not many have been very helpful. I imagine it's something you have to pick up by doing. So we're looking forward to that!
I'm still in the process of reading the January comics. So far the best comic moment was in Marvel Adventues Avengers:

Sounds like a great day for you and your daughter!
As for boards, I think where they really help is preventing the area near the spine from "bowing in". I've noticed when I have lots of unboarded comics stored next to each other in boxes, the "bowing" effect kicks in after a number of years, creating a sort of "tear-drop" effect around the spine area. Using boards seems to protect comics from that sort of wear. You might want to consider it for your more valued comics (whether monitarily or sentimentally...or both).
If the bowing effect doesn't matter to you, then carry on and enjoy your books!
